RUE VISCONTI IN PARIS Paris—For the fifth year running, the galleries on the small alley called Rue Visconti will hold a special event in March. From Thursday the twenty-first to Monday the twentyfifth, aficionados will find new exhibitions in seven galleries lining this charming street. At number 11, Galerie Pascassio Manfredi will present a particularly fine selection of works of Balinese art that the gallery has kept specially for this occasion. A little further on, Yann Ferrandin will strive to satisfy even the most demanding aesthetes with Beautés Sacrées (Sacred Beauties), an exhibition that brings together important African, Oceanic, and American Indian artworks that share a common thread in that with each great care was taken in the workmanship, ornamentation, and symbolism. Maine Durieu will open the exhibition Métal, dedicated to the art of metal in Africa. One of the highlights will be a bronze Gan pendant that is remarkable for its age. Galerie SL completes the list of participants on the odd-numbered side. Across the street, three galleries will also take part in the event: Voyageurs et Curieux, Mingei Art Gallery, and Galerie le Toit du Monde. The last will show ritual objects that once belonged to shamans of the hill peoples of Nepal, notably Tamang and Magar. PAVILLON DES ARTS ET DU DESIGN Paris—The seventeenth Pavillon des Arts et du Design will take place from March 27–31 in the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. This event aims to present the best of international achievement in the fields of design, decorative arts, and modern art. It will also offer aficionados of tribal art an exhibition in which three galleries in their field are taking part: Galerie Mermoz, Galerie Afrique, and Galerie Flak. For this occasion, Galerie Afrique has selected a collection of sculptures, masks, adornment, and utilitarian objects that are distinguished by the extreme stylization of their forms. Flak will surprise visitors with furniture by a Nigerian designer of international renown, Ola-Dele Kuku, which will be presented in dialogue with a selection of historic works of art from Africa, Oceania, and North America.
